I think the Italian team are being highly underestimated, and they are exactly the kind of team that will exploit England's weaknesses in central midfield and at right back. Also, their defensive shape helps to limit the threat of Rooney, with De Rossi almost man-marking him (or occupying the space Rooney works in). I could be wrong of course, but everything I have seen points to a routine win for Italy.
